Rapid clinical assessment to facilitate the triage of adults with falciparum malaria, a retrospective analysis.
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Background: Most adults dying from falciparum malaria will die within 48 hours of their hospitalisation. An essential component of early supportive care is the rapid identification of patients at greatest risk. In resource-poor ...
Optimization of power consumption for centrifugation process based on attenuation measurements
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2013)
The main objective of this research is to produce a mathematical model that allows decreasing the electrical power consumption of centrifugation process based on attenuation measurements. The centrifugation time for desired ...
The effect of mefloquine-artemether compared with quinine on patients with complicated falciparum malaria
(Elsevier Ltd., 1988)
30 pairs of patients with complicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria (with anaemia, hyperpyrexia, jaundice or more than 5% of erythrocytes parasitized) were studied. Patients with cerebral signs and symptoms were excluded. ...
The relationship between age and the manifestations of and mortality associated with severe malaria.
(Oxford University Press, 2008)
Background. The reported case-fatality rate associated with severe malaria varies widely. Whether age is an independent risk factor is uncertain. Methods. In a large, multicenter treatment trial conducted in Asia, the ...
Multivariate prediction model for early detection and classification of bacterial species in diabetic foot ulcers
(Atlantis Press, 2014)
Many diabetic patients eventually develop foot ulcers are at risk for further infection and subsequent amputation if they are not treated promptly. Hence, this study is focused on identifying wild type strain bacteria and ...
A simple score to predict the outcome of severe malaria in adults
(Oxford University Press, 2010)
Background. World Health Organization treatment guidelines recommend that adults with severe malaria be admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). However, ICU facilities are limited in the resource-poor settings where most ...
Sudden cardiac death prediction using ECG signal derivative (heart rate variability): a review
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2013)
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) prediction using Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a popular area of research because of the seriousness of the matter. There are tons of papers published in this research which available online. ...
The views of older Malaysians on advanced directive and advanced care planning: a qualitative study
(SAGE Publications, 2007)
The provision of optimum care for the ageing population is dependent on the understanding of their views and values on end of life issues. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted to describe views of elderly Malaysians ...
Bacteria classification using electronic nose for diabetic wound monitoring
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Array based gas sensor technology namely Electronic Nose (E-nose) now offers the potential of a rapid and robust analytical approach to odor measurement for medical use. Wounds become infected when a microorganism which ...
Inter-hemispheric EEG coherence analysis in Parkinson's disease: Assessing brain activity during emotion processing
(Springer-Verlag Wien, 2014-06)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is not only characterized by its prominent motor symptoms but also associated with disturbances in cognitive and emotional functioning. The objective of the present study was to investigate the ...
